The generic is definitely working correctly for the tracks now. There is still no way to switch over to the busses
though. - I checked online and this seems to be an issue for everyone.
I think the best way to handle it is to have an ACT profile that I load just when I want to mix the buses (and just deal with the annoying extra 4 tracks?
 
Also Azslow: I am an extremely high level programmer in an animation programming language.
I'm in a position where I need to start writing my own DLL's that would work with a .NET interface.
If you know about this (and can help in that area), please message me here. I am willing to pay for
help in that area.
 
Thanks.

Neither of these 2 plugins are perfect, nor any combination of them. But as thomas has mentioned, the source code is open. They are using MFC, so full version of MS VC is needed (free version has no MFC). But if someone has it (I do not) changing the number of controlled strips to 4 is relatively easy (I have just checked that in the source). They have not published the source for the Generic Surface.

I do not have time for any external work. Not even to complete my DLL. I am reading news and forums (inclusive this one) during countless, endless and useless (telephone and live) meetings I have to participate.
